“If you are thinking about work as you’re getting ready for your work day, what you're probably thinking about are tasks, phone calls and meetings. In addition to that, maybe even instead of that, if you just quickly review these 6 concepts, it would change everything.”

In this solo episode, Mike Nash dives into the essential elements of effective management every manager should be thinking about before the workday:

1. Personal growth as a foundation for leadership (for more on the growth mindset, see Episode #97 with Hana Butler)
2. Morale matters and it’s mostly a manager’s job
3. Building trust by showing you have your team's best interests at heart
4. Keep the 15 critical management skills and deliverables in mind
5. Developing adaptive skills tied to emotional intelligence.
6. Fostering psychological safety—creating a space where your team feels secure and valued (for more on psychological safety, see Episodes #57 and #58)
